Best Time To Play

[Killa_Kowboyz]

I live in the US, I am off from work for the next two weeks and I'm not leaving the state, so I can play poker at anytime I want. When would be the best time to play, especially for someone who likes to play freerolls and low buy-in tourneys?

I've played at different hours and I never found a tourney easier than another depending of that.
There are good an excelent players aound the world (and bad too of course). If you want avoid american players you must fight against european or asian players or viceversa.
I didn't find any difference. I've played from 7AM ET to 2 or 3AM ET, testing all 7 days of a week.

I play on FTP. & Pstars. they have games of every kind going 24/7. I don't think time matters very much.

i agree i dont think there r better times to play, whenever ure feeling the most lucky i guess.... later at night i know theres less players in freerolls so i guess a better chance of winning

[Laceypearls]

I agree with you there sin2win there are less people period in the tornaments its better if you don't want as many people in the tornaments exspecially the freerolls. I hear a lot of people say they play night time tornaments because they think they are easier too win..

You need to find out where the bulk of the players are from on your poker client, and play according to that time zone.

If you play high limits, try and play very late or early games, so you can catch the best players when they're fatigued or just starting up for the night.

If you play low limits, play peak times so you can catch lots of fish.

I usually play after coming back from work, until around 11PM.

I don't like to play later then that because I become exhausted, and tired people can make costly mistakes.

The only exception to that rule would be tournaments, but I usually prepare well in advance for these events. I know they can last well into evenings.
